I actually recently acquired a few of those motors from ripper with the intent of building a cart that lets me carry stuff from Obi to my workshop. I guess the motor control stuff should be pretty universal, but I have yet to look into it, if I would want to build it myself or just buy something off the shelf from ebay. An open source scooter would be the tits. Like, seriously cool. Also, I'm currently learning to TIG weld :P (but I have no clue about mechanics) Am Fr., 7.

Anyone considered a DIY option? I am not 100% sure if this qualifies as a DIY option, but modifying one of those lime/bird/uber/?? electric scooters and replacing the electronics is on my TODO list. One day..
Yeah, I’ve been eying them with keen interest for the same reason .. I’ve since learned that Lime/Bird are not the OEM’s of these things, that they are in fact a re-brand of the Xiaomi M365 and Segway Ninebot scooters, so .. just for the record, we don’t have to deconstruct a Bird or Lime ..
A pity we lost the electric-skateboard project, alas .. Absolutely, too bad walid turned out to be a thief and liar who had to be removed after stealing our money out of the locked kassomat :(
Yes, that is awful, truly. And to think I would have voluntarily helped fund his project given the opportunity. I seriously want an electric means of getting in and out of the city .. so in case anyone else wants to jump on the scooter bandwagon, and come up with a Metalab variant, maybe this is something for consideration in the future ..
